Important CURRICULAR information 1. Students must know what coursework is required to complete a Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences degree. Starting with your Junior year you should plan your remaining semesters of coursework so that alternate-year, semester-specific, and sequential courses can be correctly accommodated. 2. The American Fisheries Society (AFS) does not count D s in courses they require for certification. You can complete our degree requirements with D s as long as your cumulative GPA is at least 2.0. Most states at this time do not require AFS certification for their fisheries positions. However, some states, while not requiring AFS certification, follow AFS course and grade requirements. For example, Minnesota DNR does not require AFS certification, but does follow AFS course and grade requirements; they do not accept D s in courses required for minimum qualifications for their fisheries positions. 3. The Wildlife Society (TWS) certification requires 9 semester hours of Botany. 4. Students who transfer from other colleges and universities into our program should be especially careful about curricular planning. Often transfer students are allowed substitutions for some of our required courses. This may impact your meeting some certification and GS requirements. Transfers must be aware of certification requirements and plan accordingly. Certification: ASSOCIATE FISHERIES SCIENTIST Academic requirements for certification by the American Fisheries Society (AFS). SDSU courses that address the requirements are shown in parentheses; only courses needed to meet minimum requirements are shown. Only grades of C or better count for AFS certification. Go to the AFS web page for more specific information on certification. 1. Fisheries and aquatics courses - 12 semester hr (NRM 230; WL 220, WL 367, WL 412, WL 429, WL 431) 2. Other biological science courses must total 30 hr when added to the above courses (BIOL, EES, NRM, WL, and ZOOL prefixes all will count toward this requirement) 3. Physical science courses - 15 hr (CEE 434; CHEM 106, 108, 112, 120, 326, 328; PHYS 101, 111; PS 213, 243) 4. Math and statistics courses - 6 hr total; must include one calculus and one statistics, or two statistics (MATH 121, 123; NRM 282, 482) 5. Communications courses - 9 hr (Department requires 12 hr) 6. Human dimensions courses - 6 hr (ABS 475; NRM 300; WL 420; WL 430) Certification: ASSOCIATE WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST Academic requirements for certification by The Wildlife Society (TWS). SDSU courses that address the requirements are shown in parentheses; only courses needed to meet minimum requirements are shown. Go to the TWS web page for more specific information on certification. 1. Biological Science 36 total semester hr a. Wildlife Management 6 hr (NRM 230; RANG 374; WL 220, 411, 415, 417, 419, 425) b.

Students should search the worldwide web (e.g., search GS-486 ) to ascertain specific course requirements for each series at the Office of Personnel Management web page. Education requirements for the 0485 Wildlife Refuge Management Occupational Series include one course in conservation biology. SDSU courses that meet this requirement include NRM 440 Restoration Ecology, NRM 464 Ecosystem Ecology, and WL 400 Habitat Conservation and Restoration.
